In the morning when Sandra woke up and had just finished her morning prayers she had heard a noise from the kitchen. It seemed that Amira was also awake and was busy in the kitchen. Sandra immediately came out of her room to help Amira.
"Ra.." call Sandra.
"Eh San San.. Have you woken up?" asked Amira who looked busy with her cooking.
"Sorry I came home late last night." said Sandra.
"Ga pa-pa San San. After all last night I did go to bed early because of sleeping when I put Sahir and Samir to sleep. I don't even know when Sam's brother came home..." sahut Amira chuckled.
"Oh yes... How was dinner? was success?" amira said as Sandra began to help her.
"Alhamdulillah Ra. they all turned out to be very good and willing to accept me as I am." explained Sandra.
"Alhamdulillah then. now it's Dave who has to convince your parents that they want to bless you both..."
"Yes Ra. but I'm a little afraid that you and Umi won't approve of our relationship." Sandra sounded anxious.
Amira stopped her activities and wiped her hands. Then he approached Sandra who looked pensive in front of the kitchen table.
"You can't be so pessimistic about San San. Abah is harsh in nature but I'm sure Dave will be able to melt it... umi I know she would agree that Dave would be with you because there's nothing happiest for a mother unless her daughter finds the right person to love and love her daughter" amira said giving spirit to Sandra.
"Hopefully what you say will come true Ra..."
"God willing.." said Amira with a smile.
Then the two went back to their cooking show. Today Amira did deliberately cook a special breakfast because somehow he wanted to have breakfast with a menu of minang cuisine. And because finding a restaurant that can serve the menu he wants so early is very difficult then he deliberately cook it himself even though he is actually not too confident to cook it well.
"How does San San feel?" amira asked as Sandra tried her cooking.
"Hemm... yummy Ra.." said Sandra with a smile.
"Really?" ask Amira not to believe it.
"Yes. if you don't believe in tasting it yourself." said Sandra.
Amira immediately took a spoon and spooned it on the rendang that had just matured and the smoke was still billowing.
"How's it?" sandra asked now.
Instead of answering, Amira seemed to start crying.
"You why Ra? it's not that the rendang is good exactly like your mother made it.." said Sandra while hugging Amira.
"It's precisely San San. I cook using the mother's recipe as far as I can remember and it tastes the same.
"Have Ra.. don't worry anymore.your father and mother must have been happy in heaven to see you happy with your little family. What else is this. You managed to cook your mother's recipe well." said Sandra to calm Amira.
"Yes you're right." said Amira began to smile.
The aroma of Amira's cooking turned out to also wake up Mr. Sam who had finished his morning prayers back to sleep because he came home late last night.
"Hemmm... Does it seem like breakfast today is special?" ask Mr. Sam who is already standing in front of the dining table.
"I cooked rendang B.." said Amira while arranging dishes on the table assisted Sandra.
"Then I have breakfast now" said Mr. Sam.
"Built B. I'll also wake the kids so we eat together" prevent Amira.
"All right, let us wake up together" said Mr. Sam, who headed straight to their son's second room.
"I'll stay a while." Amira told Sandra.
"Yes..."
After waking up the twins and bathing him Amira took her two sons to the dining table. While Mr. Sam immediately took a shower and soon followed his small family for breakfast. After Mr. Sam leaves for Amira's office and Sandra returns to their routine of cleaning the house and looking after the two twins.
In his office, it appears that Mr. Sam was talking to Dave after the two finished holding a meeting together. Dave wants to ask Mr. Sam's opinion on his relationship with Sandra that he wants to formalize soon.
"I think you better meet Sandra's parents Dave first to ask for blessing." proposed Mr. Sam.
"You're right.. But is it okay if I come there alone Sam? because I know Sandra can't possibly leave your wife alone here." Dave explained.
"Maybe it's even better that you come alone there Dave. If both agree you can bring them all here so that you and Sandra can get married here." said Mr. Sam who is owned by Dave.
"Well, but can we just keep our plan a secret Sam. I don't want Sandra to come to mind..."
"It's up to you." said Mr. Sam.
Finally Dave decided to go to Indo to meet Sandra's parents themselves so that Sandra can still accompany Amira. At Sandra, Dave tells her he has a job abroad for a few days so Sandra doesn't worry. Sandra believed in him because she knew someone like Dave would often do work out of town or abroad.
After emptying his work schedule, Dave went to Indo to ask for blessing from Sandra's parents. Although he is an entrepreneur who has often faced difficult clients but he never felt this nervous. Facing the prospective in-laws makes Dave unable to rest during the trip to Indo. In his heart he always chanted dhikr to calm his heart and expect everything to go smoothly.
Arriving at the airport Dave was immediately picked up by his driver and immediately delivered to the hotel he had booked. When he was in his room Dave immediately contacted Sandra.
"The Assalamualaikum San San..."
"Vaalaikum salaam..."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm with the twins... Amira and Sam's brother are out for a while." said Sandra.
"I miss you San San.." said Dave suddenly.
"The cave..."
"I know.. You're definitely not going to believe it.." Dave continued softly.
"I miss you too Dave..."
Hearing Sandra's words, Dave's smile immediately expands.
"really?" tanyanya enthusiastic.
"Hemm.." said Sandra while nodding even though she knew Dave would not be able to see her.
"Then I'll finish my work so we can meet soon." said Dave excitedly.
"San San's..."
"Hmm?"
"Can you call me by another name?"
"What?"
"As much as you do. I just want a special call from you.." said Dave.
"Hemm... Can I think about it first?" ask Sandra.
"Well, you just think there's no need to rush. I just want us to have a special call when we're legal later.." said Dave.
Sandra smiled too. It was heard by Dave babbling the twins who were fighting over toys until Sandra was forced to end their conversation to take care of the twins. Dave sighed softly after their call ended. Anxiety and anxiety came back to him. Tomorrow he will be facing Sandra's parents and she must be able to convince them to give up their daughter to marry him.
The next day since morning Dave was getting ready to go to Sandra's parents' house. Despite trying to calm down but in fact when the car that brought him to the front of Sandra's house, Dave again felt nervous. After a moment of silence, he finally got out of the car and walked to Sandra's house.
"Assalamualaikum.." said Dave.
"Waalaikum salam.." said Zaenab from the house.
When he opened the door he was surprised to see Dave in front of him.
"Mr Dave?"
"Yes ma'am." said Dave awkwardly.
"Ah.. please come in..."
"Thank you..."
After telling Dave to sit down, Zaenab asked for Dave's arrival. Ms. Zaenab called Mr. Dahlan who happened to be in the back garden after Dave said that he wanted to see Mr. Dahlan and Ms. Zaenab. Mr. Dahlan, who was told by Ms. Zaenab that Dave had come to talk to them, was curious and immediately met Dave.
"Actually there's a need for Mr Dave to come see us?" ask Mr. Dahlan after the three sit opposite.
"Look at me. umi...." Dave then revealed the intention of his arrival who wanted to propose Sandra to be his wife.
Mr. Dahlan and Ms. Zaenab looked stunned and looked at Dave in disbelief. How not for more than a year they never met suddenly the man came to his house to propose to his daughter Sandra. Even Sandra had never told me anything about the relationship between the two.
"Sorry sir... Do you already know about Sandra's status? and does my daughter also know if you're going to propose to her?" ask Mr. Dahlan carefully.
"Regarding the status of Sandra I already know abah.even my family already know and I have introduced with Sandra... because I want to ask for the blessing of abah and umi first before telling Sandra.." explained Dave.
"I know Sandra will only get married if you and I agree. So before I get the blessing of my brother and umi I can't possibly propose to Sandra first." Dave continued.
"Actually for us the most important thing is Sandra's happiness.. If she feels happy with you we can only support her... But one thing, Mr. Dave.... are you a Muslim?" ask Mr. Dahlan.
"Yes abah..alhamdulillah since almost a year ago I have converted.." said Dave who was greeted with smiles of relief from Mr. Dahlan and Ms. Zaenab.
"If you and I agree we can go to London and prepare for our wedding there." continued Dave who made Mr. Dahlan and Ms. Zaenab even more surprised.
"Isn't it too soon, sir?"
"Isn't a good thing better accelerated? and I beg you not to call me sir. Just call me Dave..."
"Alright if it wants sir.sorry son Dave.." said Mr. Dahlan.
"Always just prepare the necessary requirements, later let me take care of the documents." said Dave.
Both of Sandra's parents could only agree. Then they took all the necessary provisions and handed them over to Dave to take care of their departure documents to London and at the same time for the wedding of Sandra and Dave later.
In London...
Since Dave's departure, Sandra has now begun to feel what is commonly felt by lovers who are separated. There is a sense of longing even though Dave often contacted him via phone or vidio call. This caught Amira's attention.
"Why San San?" amira asked when the two had just put Sahir and Samir to sleep.
"No pa-pa kok Ra." answered Sandra who tried to cover up her anxiety.
Because not usually all day Dave no longer contact him even though through a short message on his cellphone.
"Did Dave not call you yet?"
"Huh? uh.. that's.." said Sandra nervously.
Amira instead chuckles at Sandra who looks nervous with a reddened face.
"I know you must miss her." said Amira, raising her eyebrows.
"What the hell is Ra.." said Sandra while melengos.
"Honestly, if you miss it, you better call him now..."
"Ish.... Cook me call him first?"
"Why indeed?"
"That's..."
"That's what?"
"Ish you why it's so annoying Ra?"
"Eh? me kok? not you who sucks from earlier jutek and always daydreaming still prestige!" sahut Amira does not want to lose.
"But Ra..."
"Yes... It's up to you. but maybe Dave didn't call you because something happened?" amira said a little scared.
"meaning?"
"Yes.it's possible that he's not feeling well and no one's taking care of him..."
"Stop Ra. I'm gonna call him right now" Sandra's sergeant, who panics, thinks Dave has a fever all alone and nobody takes care of him.
Sandra rushes to her room to pick up her phone and calls Dave. Amira immediately chuckles at Sandra's behavior.
